Yeah...me too.I also hate to bring it up, but the Danube flows thru Hungary, do you think Viktor Orbán will allow the boats transition thru Hungary? I have my doubts.
From the Danube Commission treaty:Well the river runs thru the country and not its boarder. What rights do any country have to block the transport of weapons thru its territory that it does not want to let thru? I suspect that if Hungary does object to them passing thru all they would have to do is impound them in customs for the duration?
I hope it does not come to that and they are allowed to pass. But it would not surprise me if they were blocked or interned.
When both banks of the Danube belong to the same State, the latter shall have the right to place goods in transit under seal or in charge of the customs officers. Such State shall also be entitled to require the master or owner of a vessel to make a written declaration stating only whether or not he is carrying goods the importation of which is prohibited by that State, but shall not be entitled to prohibit the transit of such goods.
Do you really think Viktor Orbán will make it easy? He will do whatever he can to help his fellow dictator Putin (even if it is just delaying things) or at least take a "pound of flesh".From the Danube Commission treaty:
My understanding of it is that they have to be informed, but cannot block the transit.
